Anne Hathaway Splits With Troubled Boyfriend

It looks like Anne Hathaway did some "getting smart" of her own, and has ended her relationship with Italian financier Raffaello Follieri.
The businessman has been in the news lately, as it was reported last week that his Follieri Foundation was being probed by New York State Attorney General Andrew Cuomo. Raffaello was also picked up by police recently for allegedly bouncing a $215,000 check, which Anne's man said was all a big misunderstanding. Sources say all this bad press led the actress to make the tough decision that she (and her career) were better off without him -- which is probably why he wasn't by her side at the Get Smart premiere on Monday.
"There has been tension between them lately," a source close to the couple said. "They had a scene in Paris last week. Her family and handlers have been telling her that he's hurting her career. It's a shame, because they really do love each other. But he's a gentleman. He'll let her do what she thinks she has to do."
Reps for the couple haven't denied the split.
Do you think Anne made the right move?

I think she made the right move. This guy is a major loser and love is rarely enough to overcome that. She's better off jumping ship than sinking with him.
Good move Anne and don't look back!
It appears that the boyfriend is a confidence man and scammer (allegedly). I'm happy she didn't turn out to be one of those women who keep making excuses out of "love".
Never knew much about him.

Great move on her part! I've been wondering for a while, while she still puts up with him, I mean love can blind you only so far, can't it? At some point you have to stop making excuses and look things in the eye. So I believe it was not a cold hearted career move on her part, she just realized he is not a man worthy of her love and not a man you want to grow old with. After all, a longterm relationship is mainly about trust, and he really does not seem trustworthy, not in the least!

I do think it was a smart move but........
It almost feels that she ditched him when he most needed her. I think the guy obviously loves her [using company money to buy her stuff], but it's as if..
as soon as his money "runs out" or that he's in trouble financially, she decides to throw him out.
perhaps it wasn't realli love for her, but just the money. if she realli loved him, then she wouldn't pick her career (fame, money, etc) over him.
I'm sorry, but I have to agree with Anonymous.... And since when would any real woman put her career before someone she truly loved and why would a grown woman, if she is mature enough to be called one, listen to her own "business reps" who are also into her for money since she is the contents of their"Hollywood" vault???... If someone wants a truthful love, try it outside of Hollywood for a year or 18 months to know if it will last beyond the tinseltown mecca
i think it is so unfair of her to dump him because of the predicament he's in right now. We all have our "ups and downs" and i think love should withstand all ups and downs. for me it is so selfish of her to dump him in this situation. though i don't know much about them, it would be plain selfishness on her part. what if it's the other way around? i mean if she's in trouble financially and he would dump her for his career, how would she feel?
They looks very happy. I heard that they met each at a dating club called ----ukinterracialmatch.com--- is it true? Can I find my true love there?

Shouldn't she or should she? Only time will tell if it was the right move. If the guy is cleared of all financial impropriety where does that leave her? If he is really a con artist or scammer then she is defintely better off without 'cos i believe no amount of love would make me stay with a scammer.
The guy is a scammer. Love does not trump criminal behavior - they aren't even married so why should she stick by him? How much of her own money should she risk just because this guy can't afford the lifestyle he wants?
For someone whose career in part depends on public approval, she is doing the right thing, no matter if she thinks herself in love or not. I'm betting she dropped the board of the foundation because of the improprieties and told him she's outta there if there is even a hint of scandal linking her name and that place.
She did the right thing. He's a Financial mess. Get rid of him.
So what?? There's still a chance. Just look at Pam Anderson and Tommy Lee. Yep, they are back together!!
